The Shigeki Tanaka Blue #2 Bunka 165mm is a versatile, all-purpose knife with a bit more attitude than your standard chef’s knife.

A bunka is a multi-purpose Japanese knife similar to a santoku, but with a more aggressive tip (k-tip) that excels at precision work. It handles slicing, dicing, and chopping with ease, while the pointed tip gives you better control for detail work.

Forged in Miki City, this knife features a Blue #2 carbon steel core at 62–63 HRC, delivering strong edge retention and a sharp, responsive feel on the stones. Stainless cladding helps reduce upkeep, making it more practical for daily use.

The kurouchi finish and hammered texture give it a rugged, hand-forged look while also improving food release.

Finished with a black pakkawood western handle, it feels solid, balanced, and ready for real kitchen work.
